Chapter 661: Chapter Four Hundred and Nineteen: Preparations_2

He didn’t bother to knock and simply pushed the door open with one hand.

As soon as he entered, he saw one of the female leads of "Cangyuan Chronicles," Jing Xuelan, still tied to the stone bed with little to cover her body, although she was no longer as frenzied as before.

Her eyes were tightly closed as she lay quietly on the stone bed in the secret chamber.

She must have been drugged and knocked unconscious by the two "medical experts" Lou Ji and Luo Xiran.

Lou Ji and Luo Xiran were at this moment busy with an assortment of potions and concoctions at several stone platforms in the corner of the chamber.

As Xu Yuan entered the room, he even heard some academic terms he didn’t understand.

However, Lou Ji didn’t seem at all surprised by Xu Yuan’s arrival. With her back turned and her hands still busy, a teasing tone as clear and delicate as a quiet spring came from her:

"You’ve only been gone a short while, Changtian, and you’re already in conflict with that girl?"

"....."

Xu Yuan walked into the secret chamber, staring at the sensuous and slim figure of his older sister:

"Sister, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Something important?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Ji raised an eyebrow, gave it some thought, and put aside her potions and turned around. Leaning her shapely bottom against the desk behind her, she asked with interest, "What’s so important?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the ceiling as if to make sure, and asked:

"Is Tianyan really gone?"

A flash of puzzlement crossed Lou Ji’s beautiful purple eyes:

"Is that your ’important matter’?"

However, after speaking, Lou Ji glanced through the layers of barriers towards the direction of the rear wing of Xuanying Attic and softly answered:

"That girl hasn’t left; she’s still hanging around behind us."

So, it was just as he had thought...

A bittersweet feeling arose in Xu Yuan’s heart, but his expression remained calm:

"Can we completely shield our presence and get rid of her?"

"We can."

Lou Ji agreed, then with a smile brimming in her eyes, she asked back:

"But Changtian, were you deliberately provoking her with the words you said to her earlier?"

Those words?

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized that Lou Ji must have been eavesdropping on them earlier.

Sometimes his older sister truly had a wicked sense of humor.

Not even the slightest bit of awareness that one would expect from an elder.

As if sensing Xu Yuan’s discontent, Lou Ji glanced nonchalantly at the Willow Ghost Blade that now accompanied Xu Yuan’s waist and explained with a semblance of grievance:

"Don’t be angry, Changtian. I sensed something odd about the energy mechanism here earlier, so I paid a bit more attention."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan understood perfectly.

The entire Xuanying Attic was under his sister’s constant Dao Domain coverage; there were hardly any blind spots. It would have been more unusual if she hadn’t detected the energy when he absorbed the Saint Level Yin Source earlier.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and replied in a low voice:

"I’m not angry. After all, I’m used to it."

Lou Ji immediately switched back to her lazy smile:

"It’s good that you’re not angry. So, did you intentionally drive Tianyan away just now?"

"Yes and no."

"What kind of answer is that?"

Lou Ji chuckled, then sat on the stone table behind her. Her voluptuous legs intertwined as she crossed them, those bewitching purple eyes filled with playful light looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan hummed lightly and explained:

"Some things require some groundwork to be laid out beforehand, otherwise it will be very difficult to deal with when things explode."

"Groundwork?"

Lou Ji’s eyes flashed with bewilderment for a moment. As she caught on to the implication, she chuckled lightly and said:

"Changtian, getting those proud daughters of heaven to get along harmoniously is not an easy task~"

Xu Yuan just shrugged his shoulders:

"In the Illusionary Realm, Tianyan and I depended on each other for nearly twenty years. It’s indeed not easy for her to accept others, but after all, where there’s a will, there’s a way."

"You’re not even trying to hide your philandering now, but... you mentioned the Illusionary Realm earlier?"

Lou Ji teased lightly, but then her voice became more serious, and although her beautiful eyes were still filled with laughter, they carried a hint of earnestness: "Changtian, do you really remember the ’memories’ from the Illusionary Realm?"

"Yes."

"Just memories?" Lou Ji’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You suspect that I’ve had some ideas implanted in me?" Xu Yuan asked with a light laugh.

"Better safe than sorry," Lou Ji did not deny. "You’re aware of the complicated nature of your identity now."

"Don’t worry," Xu Yuan chuckled, indicating that all was well. "My consciousness is very clear right now."

"People with implanted thoughts always think they are clear-headed."

"...."

After a moment of eye contact, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, speaking in a low voice:

"Sister, there’s no need to worry about this matter. Jiatiange indeed has plans, but you’re looking in the wrong direction."

Lou Ji’s gaze immediately sharpened, and an involuntary and chilling killing intent began seeping out of her:

"So you’re saying, Jiatiange really has ulterior motives?"

"Yes, that’s why I came to see you."

"What is it?"

"To assassinate me."

"...."

With that, silence fell within the chamber.

Even Luo Xiran, who had been engrossed in her medicinal stones, raised her gaze upon hearing his words.

A bizarre expression emerged on Lou Ji’s glamorous and seductive face.

It was a mix of surprise, understanding, and anger, but in the end, it turned into confusion.

A flood of intelligence reports raced through her mind in an instant, but even she could not fathom the purpose behind Jiatiange’s actions.

It didn’t make sense.

Many in the world wished for Changtian’s death at this time, but Jiatiange should not be the one to make a move.
